2008-12-03net: /proc/net/ip_mr_cache, display Iif as a signed shortBenjamin Thery
Today, iproute2 fails to show multicast forwarding unresolved cache entries while scanning /proc/net/ip_mr_cache. Indeed, it expects to see -1 in 'Iif' column to identify unresolved entries but the kernel outputs 65535. It's a signed/unsigned issue: 'Iif', the source interface, is retrieved from member mfc_parent in struct mfc_cache. mfc_parent is a vifi_t: unsigned short, but is displayed in ipmr_mfc_seq_show() as "%-3d", signed integer. In unresolevd entries, the 65535 value (0xFFFF) comes from this define: #define ALL_VIFS ((vifi_t)(-1)) That may explains why the guy who added support for this in iproute2 thought a -1 should be expected. I don't know if this must be fixed in kernel or in iproute2. Who is right? What is the correct API? How was it designed originally? I let you decide if it should goes in the kernel or be fixed in iproute2. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Thery <benjamin.thery@bull.net> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2008-12-03net: fix /proc/net/ip_mr_cache display - V2Benjamin Thery
/proc/net/ip_mr_cache and /proc/net/ip6_mr_cache displays garbage when showing unresolved mfc_cache entries. [root@qemu tests]# cat /proc/net/ip_mr_cache Group Origin Iif Pkts Bytes Wrong Oifs 014C00EF 010014AC 1 10 10050 0 2:1 3:1 024C00EF 010014AC 65535 514 2 -559067475 The first line is correct. It is a resolved cache entry, 10 packets used it... The second line represents an unresolved entry, and the columns Pkts(4th), Bytes(5th) and Wrong(6th) just show garbage. In struct mfc_cache, there's an union to store data for resolved and unresolved cases. And what ipmr_mfc_seq_show() is printing in these columns for the unresolved entries is some bytes from mfc_cache.mfc_un.res. Bad. (eg. In our case -559067475 is in fact 0xdead4ead which is the spinlock magic from mfc_cache.mfc_un.unres.unresolved.lock.magic). This patch replaces the garbage data written in these columns for the unresolved entries by '0' (zeros) which is more correct. This change doesn't break the ABI. Also, mfc->mfc_un.res.pkt, mfc->mfc_un.res.bytes, mfc->mfc_un.res.wrong_if are unsigned long. It applies on top of net-next-2.6. The patch for net-2.6 is slightly different because of the NIP6_FMT to %pI6 conversion that was made in the seq_printf. Changelog: ========== V2: * Instead of breaking the ABI by suppressing the columns that have no meaning for unresolved entries, fill them with 0 values.

2008-12-03atm: 32-bit ioctl compatibilityDavid Woodhouse
We lack compat ioctl support through most of the ATM code. This patch deals with most of it, and I can now at least use BR2684 and PPPoATM with 32-bit userspace. I haven't added a .compat_ioctl method to struct atm_ioctl, because AFAICT none of the current users need any conversion -- so we can just call the ->ioctl() method in every case. I looked at br2684, clip, lec, mpc, pppoatm and atmtcp. In svc_compat_ioctl() the only mangling which is needed is to change COMPAT_ATM_ADDPARTY to ATM_ADDPARTY. Although it's defined as _IOW('a', ATMIOC_SPECIAL+4,struct atm_iobuf) it doesn't actually _take_ a struct atm_iobuf as an argument -- it takes a struct sockaddr_atmsvc, which _is_ the same between 32-bit and 64-bit code, so doesn't need conversion. Almost all of vcc_ioctl() would have been identical, so I converted that into a core do_vcc_ioctl() function with an 'int compat' argument. I've done the same with atm_dev_ioctl(), where there _are_ a few differences, but still it's relatively contained and there would otherwise have been a lot of duplication. I haven't done any of the actual device-specific ioctls, although I've added a compat_ioctl method to struct atmdev_ops.

2008-12-01dccp: Feature activation handlersGerrit Renker
This patch provides the post-processing of feature negotiation state, after the negotiation has completed. To this purpose, handlers are used and added to the dccp_feat_table. Each handler is passed a boolean flag whether the RX or TX side of the feature is meant. Several handlers are provided already, new handlers can easily be added. The initialisation is now fully dynamic, i.e. CCIDs are activated only after the feature negotiation. The integration of this dynamic activation is done in the subsequent patches. Thanks to Wei Yongjun for pointing out the necessity of skipping over empty Confirm options while copying the negotiated feature values.

The patch implements insertion of feature negotiation at the server (listening and request socket) and the client (connecting socket). In dccp_insert_options(), several statements have been grouped together now to achieve (it is hoped) better efficiency by reducing the number of tests each packet has to go through: - Ack Vectors are sent if the packet is neither a Data or a Request packet; - a previous issue is corrected - feature negotiation options are allowed on DataAck packets (5.8).

2008-11-30Bluetooth: Fix RFCOMM release oops when device is still in useMarcel Holtmann
It turns out that the following sequence of actions will reproduce the oops: 1. Create a new RFCOMM device (using RFCOMMCREATEDEV ioctl) 2. (Try to) open the device 3. Release the RFCOMM device (using RFCOMMRELEASEDEV ioctl) At this point, the "/dev/rfcomm*" device is still in use, but it is gone from the internal list, so the device id can be reused. 4. Create a new RFCOMM device with the same device id as before And now kobject will complain that the TTY already exists. (See http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/7/13/89 for a reproducible test-case.) This patch attempts to correct this by only removing the device from the internal list of devices at the final unregister stage, so that the id won't get reused until the device has been completely destructed. This should be safe as the RFCOMM_TTY_RELEASED bit will be set for the device and prevent the device from being reopened after it has been released.

2008-11-30Bluetooth: Send HCI Reset command by default on device initializationMarcel Holtmann
The Bluetooth subsystem was not using the HCI Reset command when doing device initialization. The Bluetooth 1.0b specification was ambiguous on how the device firmware was suppose to handle it. Almost every device was triggering a transport reset at the same time. In case of USB this ended up in disconnects from the bus. All modern Bluetooth dongles handle this perfectly fine and a lot of them actually require that HCI Reset is sent. If not then they are either stuck in their HID Proxy mode or their internal structures for inquiry and paging are not correctly setup. To handle old and new devices smoothly the Bluetooth subsystem contains a quirk to force the HCI Reset on initialization. However maintaining such a quirk becomes more and more complicated. This patch turns the logic around and lets the old devices disable the HCI Reset command. The only device where the HCI_QUIRK_NO_RESET is still needed are the original Digianswer devices and dongles with an early CSR firmware. CSR reported that they fixed this for version 12 firmware. The last official release of version 11 firmware is build ID 115. The first version 12 candidate was build ID 117. Signed-off-by: Marcel Holtmann <marcel@holtmann.org>

2008-11-26rfkill: preserve state across suspendHenrique de Moraes Holschuh
The rfkill class API requires that the driver connected to a class call rfkill_force_state() on resume to update the real state of the rfkill controller, OR that it provides a get_state() hook. This means there is potentially a hidden call in the resume code flow that changes rfkill->state (i.e. rfkill_force_state()), so the previous state of the transmitter was being lost. The simplest and most future-proof way to fix this is to explicitly store the pre-sleep state on the rfkill structure, and restore from that on resume.

2008-11-25net: Use a percpu_counter for sockets_allocatedEric Dumazet
Instead of using one atomic_t per protocol, use a percpu_counter for "sockets_allocated", to reduce cache line contention on heavy duty network servers. Note : We revert commit (248969ae31e1b3276fc4399d67ce29a5d81e6fd9 net: af_unix can make unix_nr_socks visbile in /proc), since it is not anymore used after sock_prot_inuse_add() addition Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet <dada1@cosmosbay.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
